I would really appreciate it if someone could please look up the following family in the 1921 census.

William Thompson (1873 St Helen Auckland / Bishop Auckland Durham) married Kate Clarke (1872 Oakham, Rutland) in 1895 in Oakham.

Children
Thomas Thompson (1896 Oakham)
Joseph Thompson (1898 Blackburn Lancashire)
Frederick Thompson (1902 Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire)
William Thompson (1903 Oakham)

In 1911 William was working away from the family as a groom at Stoughton Grange, a Mansion near Leicester. Kate Thompson and the children were all living at 30 Rodney Street in the Wharf Street area of Leicester.

Rodney Street was William's home address during his service in WW1 so they may still be there in 1921. It would be interesting to see what work the children were doing and whether William continued his work as a groom.

Thanks in anticipation Rich
